By Night 10 of RM3, recruitments were finished and no one was left unrecruited.
So get out of here with that, number one.
Number two, if you are unrecruited, you still have an allegiance.

I'm currently involved in setting up wedding stuff for my aunt, with events all over this week. Tis why I am not around as much
looking at Wilgy and Synonym interactions and voting patterns might be a good way to start weeding through who might be bad. Especially considering Wilgy's pattern. On phone right now, but he mentioned in one of his last posts to "lynch SVS, llama, possibly Tranq and bea"
To "lynch" someone as opposed to just "suspect" someone is a strong choice of words. He had to have gotten info from his role for at least one or some of those players.
I would say based on Wilgy and last night's events that my top choices for a vote would be boomslang, llama, tranq or bea. At the moment anyway.

Look at it this way- we technically are repeating the same night, but theoretically could be experiencing two different nights, with double targeting. I mean, it's possible, right? I'm very unsure about what purpose the restarting day/night cycle does that benefits anyone if used before the Night results aside from additional time and/or extra targeting opportunities.

Rico, I haven't put a hat on what you are yet. I said previously that I was scratching my head on the impetus to rezz someone if he wasn't on the same team. I know you've talked at lengths to figure it out yourself, since you are still claiming unrecruited. I haven't changed my view that your writing has felt genuine to me, but even a recruited would be stupid to come out and say "yes I'm recruited". What other reason could the rezzer have in rezzing you? I just don't get it.Ricochet wrote:Quite the change of heart there fromScotty wrote:
As far as Rico is concerned, I've been cautiously optimistic, but his rez is a definite cause for concern, because why else would he be rezz'd unless he was on someone's team? And someone like Rico, who has fooled me once *QUITE HANDILY MIGHT I ADD* in Watchmen, I would be naive to assume he would be in the civ camp. So he's got my big fatgoing into Day tomorrow (should I be alive)
to big fat eyeballing.Scotty wrote:In RE: Rico rezzing, I think it is supes suspicious, and it wouldn't surprise me if the Elder Shaman was recruited. Whether or not that role is civ or bad is yet to be determined. I don't notice a shift in what Rico is saying now in relation to before he died. He actually reads genuine to me, which has me scratching my head if he really is unrecruited what the rezzer had in mind.
Again, if anyone feels there's no way a rezz could have happened in lack of any affiliation between the rezzer and the rezz'd, you and aapje and anyone else reading it that will have a big surprise at the end of all this (whether I'm lynched or at endgame). On the bright side, you'll have this result as future reference that not all meta is one-dimensional.
I don't have what to defend when people rely on such empirical meta or rhetorical questions. I've said all I know about my rezz and status and I am truthful about it. Not trusting that is fine and natural for the gameplay. But from there on, players should use the proper tools to determine that I'm lying or that I'm bad. Determine if I've been recruited before the rezz. Determine the Shaman is bad-aligned. Determine if I've been recruited by the baddies.
As for the fooling, yes, I am aware that my meta will probably come to bite me back and compromise at least a few of my games purely because players will bring the "wait a minute. what if Rico is fooling us again" argument as soon as I'll keep progressing deep into a game and have little suspicion on me (which frankly isn't exactly the case here; I've had LoRab drumming on me for six Days now and aapje for roughly two; I wasn't sussed in Watchmen at all, except for "what ifs"). You want to test that and ruin my current game, because of retribution? Can't stop you there, but that'll be the outcome this time around.
I've been handed out more mafia/indy roles than civ so far and I've only won as mafia/indy thus far, so yeah, sucky legacy whenever I have to play civ for realz, what can I say. But that's just reality, there's nothing I can do about that. The thing is, the "civviest" I've been under a facade is also the "civviest" I can be, period. I can't play "civvier" than that. I can't push myself beyond this much baddie hunting and reading.
As for right now, I'll say it again, my status is that of an unrecruited, which means I have to survive the game, but I don't need to fool any side for any purpose. My mindset is that I desire to be recruited by the civs, to shed a survivor win con which I'm not optimistic one bit I'll achieve, and in that I'm baddie hunting. I believe I've proven the latter, even though I've had a huge failure recently. Team Azura killed me and I've been attacking Uzbekistan head on. How can that inspire any real belief that I'm involved with either?
I was agreeing with Roxy's post:Turnip Head wrote:Who are you agreeing with? Other than the restart, the Judge's actions point toward being a Caelia recruit. How is the restart not civ-like?

You're also mischaracterizing my point about Ubola using his thread lock and lynch switch (why wouldn't a baddie use those?) and applying it across all roles and alignments, a point I've never made.

Meta notes: would recruit in balanced way
Really unsure about her, her activity has gone real cold, with only moments of jumping on a case or stance and keeping pressure on that for the entire Day. Neither this, nor her previous "big posts", make me comfortable, because she really has an unlucky meta this past year of doing that as a blendy, but focused baddie (Death Note, Guess Who). Overall, if people are looking into under-the-radar players, I think they should read and make up their mind about SD in particular.
I think both her and LoRab's "playing for the civ cause" angle and demands are a bit twitchy, I think her big stance to treat this as a "civ vs bad" only refers to how the view will look in the end of the game, yet she eyeballed (and even voted) players like Canuck or timmer for their neutrality credo. Later on, she understands, instead, nutella's choice of keeping the distance. She wobbled re: Sorsha as well, from calling her "civ vigi killed Epi" ideas far-fetched to taking her off the hook for a one-liner rebuttal to SVS sounding genuine. Similarly, she never criticises Bubbles for her indecisiveness, but the next Day I think she was among the first to call her lynch reaction off.There is a part of that that makes me wonder if Bubbles wasn't her teammate and she had to readjust real quick to the lynch switch and to buss TB.
D8, considers voting SVS why? Voted Syn why? Mirrored Wilgy reluctance why?
Idk, these are kinda real pinges and not being able to give a verdict on her gameplay sort of unsettles me. Her sink in activity could be a recruited moodswing or a desire to stay low as unrecruited.
